Haven't used docker myself yet but keep seeing it talked about with servers, am I right in that if you have a working configuration if docker gluetun (with a vpn) you could share some sort of file that would let others setup theirs in the same way semiautomatically?

Yeah that's correct. It's called docker compose. Everything is declarative and it can be stood up and torn down with a single command.

When I was setting myself up I referenced this project quite a bit:
